However, even though that was the case, Meng Tong, the owner of cave No. 15 at the foot of the mountain, was indeed in the most advantageous position in the following Challenge Round. There was no doubt about this. Other than him, no one else could possibly obtain the theoretical full score of 119 points. It would only be lower than this, no higher.
This was an innate advantage that no amount of effort could change.
From this point of view, when Lin Yi took the first cave from him and gave him the worst cave, number fifteen, on his first day at the welcome Pavilion, Lin Yi did him a favor in some sense. After all, no one would have thought that the challenge Round would have such a rule.
